Telliskivi Loomelinnak, creative city, Tallinn, Estonia.

Telliskivi Loomelinnak which in English translates to creative city is a new up and coming emerging area in the city of Tallinn, Estonia.

I was after something a little more different to the stunning old town of Tallinn.

Not that there is anything wrong with the old town at all. In fact, I would happily spend days exploring the old cobbled streets around this UNESCO area.

I was in search of something a little more different and Telliskivi Loomelinnak, creative city was brought up a few times as a suggestion from other travellers as an area worth checking out.

Normally that’s a good sign to go and visit so we cleared a day and decided to explore this creative city district.

First impressions Telliskivi Loomelinnak, creative city

Telliskivi Loomelinnak, creative city reminds me a lot of what shorditch has now become in East London. An alternative area with lots going on.

I love these sort of Hipster bohemian areas and if you do too, then this is totally place you should check out.

During the day you have a wide offering of lovely spots to have lunch and in the evening the place transforms into a fun place to have a few drinks.

Throughout the year, many large scale events and festivals are held here, keep a look out for the program to see if anything pops up during your visit, such as the yearly Food festival and every Saturday they host a flea market.

Getting to Telliskivi Loomelinnak Creative City

(Map of the area, around 200 small local businesses work in the square)

It’s rather easy to get to with a short walk from the Tallinn central train station and around 15 minutes from then old town gate.

Follow the train tracks and head towards Telliskivi road.

Spots worth eating at

If you plan on exploring Telliskivi Loomelinnak, be sure not to miss out on the great eating spots the area has to offer.

You can also find food trucks by walking around the area, more are slowly popping up as they become trendy.

Here are two spots we enjoyed the most.

F Hoone (F-hoone)

(Totally worth a stop off if you have time.)

F-hoone was mentioned to us many times as a place worth checking out.

After we grabbed lunch here, I could not agree more.

(Fun atmoshere, great dining experience.)

The atmosphere was really fun and quirky, really liked the setting and we managed to grab this fun table for two by the big warehouse style windows. Perfect!

F-hoone even brews there own beer. Here is a rosey home made F-hoone IPA which had a nice refreshing sharpe hops taste to it, deliciouse and worth trying after a long day of walking.
